There is so much more to anxiety than just calling it an overreaction to the small things in life. Dealing with anxiety, or an unclear mixture of emotions clashing against one another, is never an easy aspect of life to control. Although there are levels that are more serious than others, I still believe that even the mildest form can get in the way for an individual to freely express themselves. The struggle is noticeable, and is often pointed out throughout any setting. For this reason and many more, people with anxiety are not only using it to stand out in the crowd.
I know people who take medication prescribed by a doctor to control their anxiety. A routine that might have to be dealt with throughout the week does not make them any less human than the next person. Any level of severity, or encountering some kind of unsettling emotion that may be linked to a possible panic attack is not a "cry for attention."
It is important to remember how One might not have any kind of control in handling their set of overwhelming emotions. Emotions can surface at any time or in any type of situation since they automatically occur. Also, there is a likelihood that they will come about without any prevalent "heads up" or evident warning signs. Therefore, it can be stated that this uprising can be unpredictable.
One shall also remember to be careful about using those generic phrases when referencing to anxiety, especially when it is told to an individual who has been battling with anxiety for the longest time. Yes by statements, I mainly want to focus on the saying that refers to taking a "chill pill." In many circumstances, this can lead to the implication that our daily stressors and the rising levels of anxiety can just magically disappear. Anxiety or not, no individual has the ultimate power to instantly turn off the switch when they do not like the emotions in which they are expressing.
To clear things up: I am someone that can name a list of things that stress me out from time to time. I am also someone, however, that has witnessed and heard about how many people struggle every single day in trying to keep their anxiety levels to a bare minimum. Therefore, I wanted to bring some light to this topic throughout this article.
